email package SIG

The
email
package is a standard Python package that comes with Python. This SIG's
mission is to define, implement, enhance, and maintain the email package for
Python. Goals include:

Improving the API

Improving performance and usability

Adding support for additional email RFCs

Several versions of the email package are available, and may be included with
your Python distribution. All are also available as distutils-based
standalone packages from the
Python Cheese Shop. Here is the breakdown of package availability and
compatibility:
